2062: The World that AI Made
What does a world of smart machines actually look like? AI expert Toby Walsh predicts the state of work, war, politics, economics, everyday life and death in the not-too-distant future, when we will live with machines as intelligent as us.

By 2062 we will have built machines as intelligent as us - so the leading artificial intelligence and robotics experts predict. But what will this future look like?

In 2062, world-leading researcher Toby Walsh considers the impact AI will have on work, war, economics, politics, everyday life and even death. Will automation take away most jobs? Will robots become conscious and take over? Will we become immortal machines ourselves, uploading our brains to the cloud? How will politics adjust to the post truth, post-privacy digitised world? When we have succeeded in building intelligent machines, how will life on this planet unfold?

Based on a deep understanding of technology, 2062 describes the choices we need to make today to ensure that the future remains bright.

'Clarity and sanity in a world full of fog and uncertainty - a timely book about the race to remain human.' -Richard Watson, author of Digital VS Human and futurist-in-residence at the Imperial College, London

'One of the deepest questions facing humanity, pondered by a mind well and truly up to the task. Rip in!' -Adam Spencer, broadcaster
